Net income for the quarter was $9.336 million or $0.41 per diluted common share, an increase in net income of $2.143 million or 29.8 percent, compared with $7.193 million or $0.35 per diluted common share for the same period in the prior year. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $34.707 million or $1.59 per diluted common share, an increase in net income of $8.159 million, or 30.7 percent compared with 2003.

“Without question, 2004 was the most successful year in our history,” said David Zalman, Prosperity’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “We believe our strong and consistent performance is rooted in our conservative strategy of expanding our customer base while maintaining strong asset quality and cost controls.”

 

Mr. Zalman continued: “Total assets have more than doubled over the past three years. Over this time, we have built a larger, stronger, and more diversified company. We continue to remain focused on our primary objective—improving shareholder value by increasing our profits on a sustainable basis.”

 

“During the fourth quarter, Prosperity’s stock price reached an all-time high and our 2004 returns to investors outperformed many of the market indicies,” remarked Dan Rollins, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Prosperity Bank®. “Our total return to shareholders during 2004 was 30.6 percent, exceeding the NASDAQ Bank Index and the Russell 3000 Index, which increased 14.6 percent and 11.9 percent, respectively, during the year. Likewise, our five year compound annual total return to shareholders was 31.6 percent, outperforming the NASDAQ Bank Index and the Russell 3000 Index, which provided compound annual total returns of 13.8 percent and minus 1.2 percent, respectively, over the same five year time period.”

 

“Prosperity Bancshares had an outstanding year. While we are delighted with the 30.7 percent increase in net earnings over 2003, we will continue to work to provide superior returns to our shareholders,” added Ned S. Holmes, Prosperity’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. “Our success rests on the shoulders of our team of “Real Bankers” who are delivering superior service to our customers daily.”

 

Results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2004

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2004, net income was $9.336 million compared with $7.193 million for the same period in 2003. Net income per diluted common share was $0.41 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared with $0.35 for the same period in 2003. Returns on average assets, average common shareholders’ equity and average tangible shareholders’ equity for the three months ended December 31, 2004 were 1.38 percent, 13.68 percent and 34.26 percent, respectively. Prosperity’s efficiency ratio was 49.19 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2004.

 

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased 20.6 percent, to $22.202 million compared with $18.406 million during the same period in 2003. The increase was attributable primarily to an 18.7 percent increase in average earning assets combined with a 2 basis point increase in the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis.

 

Non-interest income increased 30.0 percent to $6.233 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared with $4.793 million for the same period in 2003. The increase was attributable primarily to deposit service charges on the increased number of deposit accounts as a result of the additional locations acquired since October 2003. Non-interest expenses increased $1.531 million or 12.3 percent to $13.987 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 compared with the fourth quarter of 2003. The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily attributable to the increased operating costs associated with the additional banking centers acquired as a part of the four acquisitions completed since October 2003.

Loans at December 31, 2004 were $1.036 billion, an increase of $265.5 million, or 34.5 percent, compared with $770.1 million at December 31, 2003. Linked quarter loan growth for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 11.2 percent on an annualized basis.

 

Average loans increased 37.2 percent or $274.6 million to $1.013 billion for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with $738.5 million for the same period of 2003. The provision for credit losses was $220,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared with $123,000 for the same period in 2003. Provision expense was 181.8 percent of net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Non-performing assets totaled $1.721 million or 0.17 percent of total loans and ORE at December 31, 2004, compared with $967 thousand or 0.13 percent of loans and ORE at December 31, 2003. The increase in the provision for loan losses is a result of management’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy calculation considers numerous factors, including the size of the loan portfolio, any change in the level of non-performing assets and net charge-offs. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for credit losses was 1.27 percent of total loans, compared to 1.34 percent at December 31, 2003.

 

At December 31, 2004, Prosperity had $2.697 billion in total assets, $1.036 billion in loans, $2.317 billion in deposits, and approximately 155,000 deposit and loan accounts. Assets, loans and deposits at December 31, 2004 grew by 12.4 percent, 34.5 percent and 11.2 percent, respectively, compared with their levels at December 31, 2003.

 

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $34.707 million or $1.59 per diluted common share, compared with $26.548 million or $1.36 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2003, an increase of 30.7 percent and 16.9 percent, respectively.

 

Prosperity’s return on average assets, return on average common shareholders’ equity and return on average shareholders’ tangible equity for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 1.36 percent, 14.27 percent and 33.41 percent, respectively. Prosperity’s efficiency ratio was 49.23 percent for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 27.1 percent, to $81.967 million from $64.499 million during the same time period in 2003. The increase was attributable primarily to a 25.8 percent increase in average earning assets.

 

Non-interest income increased 36.0 percent to $23.071 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with the same period in 2003. Non-interest expenses increased $9.686 million or 23.1 percent to $51.707 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with the same period in 2003.
